Yeah, heaven forfend anything should be on the top of GD-P except "A SANDERS SUPPORTER ATE MY BABY" Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #6

You are looking at a different board than I am. Way more anti Hillary threads, period. randys1 Nov 2015 #14

I see criticism of HRC's positions, and lame-ass ad hominem attacks against "Sanders Supporters". Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #22

They arent a GOP plot necessarily, but surely you admit that the randys1 Nov 2015 #26

So it's okay to say Bernie "Can't Win".... but not Hillary? Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #27

God, some people are really bent out of shape that she isn't just getting it handed to her, eh. Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #28

As a Bernie supporter, I dont want it handed to her. I also dont want the WH handed to randys1 Nov 2015 #30

And what evidence do you have that a vigorously contested primary is gonna do anything except help Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #32

Vigorously contested and promoting the dont vote, are different, right? randys1 Nov 2015 #87

Because someone does not endorse her, that demeans her? Hepburn Nov 2015 #113

As a self avowed supporter of Sanders, randys1 is understandably upset that Gore won't merrily Nov 2015 #51

Disappointed that he did not endorse your candidate, Sanders, in the primary? merrily Nov 2015 #42
